I think that now at the start Petter could be a good choice. The best days of him as a driver are gone but he still keeps the ability to be followed by millions all around the world. In the end any sporting activities of car makers are nothing but a marketing tool.
petter deserves a wrc seat
he is good at development of car,s now he has developed his RX car well enough though a bit UN-reliable at present but this is his first year in RX.
in RX he has lost 4 time because of mechanical failures and people hitting him but and he has been fastest of all every time.
so he deserves a seat and a new team will benefit a lot from his ability to attract people from all over the world.
so lets see hope people at hyundai agree with this
Petter's days are over. Let's remember him for what he was ... fast, spectacular, a champion and enormously good fun.Quote:

Petter is fast but not a potential winner against the new drivers. Ostberg,neuville can beat him in a straight fight.

petter is faster and he just needed a break from wrc for a bit and that break seems to be over now or soon
so guess he will get a wrc seat at citoren, i20 ? he can do it he just has to get his act together
i20 would suit him let see
Facts please, not opinions! Yes,Ostberg has more recently won a WRC round but where is the evidence that in equal machinery MO or TN would beat Petter over a season when he's not attempting to beat Loeb, or now Ogier? (I happen to think they would but that is based on nothing more than personal reponse to their performances this year)Quote:

Rallycross has never been a good indication of how a driver would compete on a rally in my very humble opinion.
As I've said before I think Petter's WRC days are over, unless he brings a large cheque book to the table. Yes, Hollywood is a great personality and a very nice guy but I'm afraid that's it.
I think Petter showed speed last year, for example in Greece, until PS, and wouldn´t it because he wanted so much to beat Mr Loeb he´d been on podium for several more times in 2012.
Yes, I do believe he has much more to give to the WRC. Not winning all the time but also as a profile.
